The ATR pool is in nature discriminatory against the most veteran workforce. Most schools that have pushed out their most experienced workforce are now in trouble. Many principals went after experienced teachers, unfortunately now they realized it was a big mistake. They are going to have problems recruiting and retaining new teachers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-30189223228207551942017-05-23T16:59:18.997-04:002017-05-23T16:59:18.997-04:00IF YOU ARE OFFERED A POSITION UNDER PRINCIPAL JANE...IF YOU ARE OFFERED A POSITION UNDER PRINCIPAL JANET HUGER DON'T TAKE IT.

If you are not Medicare age the union also provides a drug plan. The problem is that it has limitations. They have a formulary and if you meds aren't there you have to go through a lot of nonsense to get the meds approved. Then the med comes with a whopping co-pay. Of course when you retire you can find a drug plan other than the UFT plan.<br /><br />A note to those planning to retire - I know a lot of retirees who have opted to join AARP and use the AARP United Healthcare plan - it is far superior to Emblem Health or GHI. The union also pushes SHIP - a supplementary plan which is of little value unless you are in Medicare.<br /><br />The month I turned 65 the City Office of Collective Bargaining informed me that I would have to go on Medicare as primary insurer. I elected to keep GHI as secondary insurer.<br /><br />My advice - take the Republican medical plan - don't get sick!retired teachernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-55093304249930728862017-05-22T13:46:59.010-04:002017-05-22T13:46:59.010-04:0010:11 PM, If you aren't a dues paying UFT memb...10:11 PM, If you aren't a dues paying UFT member in retirement, don't you lose Welfare Fund Benefits (vision and dental)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-34414061708926189992017-05-22T12:05:55.549-04:002017-05-22T12:05:55.549-04:00I believe there is legal recourse for ATRs.

Been teaching in NYC since the 90's when Rudy Crew was in charge and the UFT actually cared about the rank and file. Just wanted to chime in and say I miss those days but I am still proud to be a NYC public school teacher. As for the UFT, I am not sure what I will do in regard to paying fees to them in the future.
